In a light week horror-wise, no genre films hit theaters, and only a handful land on DVD, led by the outrageous Japanese splatter-fest Samurai Princess, the English-language remake of the creepy Philippine ghost movie The Echo (Sigaw) and a pair of movies featuring Twilight supporting cast members Jackson Rathbone (Hurt) and Ashley Greene (Summer’s Moon).

This week, The Killing Room — a direct-to-video flick that nonetheless sports a big-name cast (Timothy Hutton, Chloë Sevigny, Clea DuVall, Nick Cannon) — premieres at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Thursday, November 12 on Showtime. It’s worth a look for the interesting, if improbable and illogical, conclusion.

Perhaps buoyed by the success of midnight screenings of Paranormal Activity, the creators of the gory 1981 cult classic The Evil Dead (including director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell) will be bringing the film back to theaters in 2010. They will be showcasing the movie at midnight showings in Landmark theaters across the US, plus Mayfair Cinema locations in Canada (and at other to-be-named spots) sometime next year. Other than the chance for fans to experience the film on the big screen, no ulterior motive has been announced for the re-release, but Evil Deadheads have to wonder if this isn’t designed to help drum up excitement for a long-rumored remake or (hopefully) sequel. Theater listings will eventually be posted on GindhouseReleasing.com.

Three high-profile 20th century theatrical horror releases — Mirrors, 30 Days of Night and Cabin Fever — are spawning sequels, but none of them appear to be headed to a theater near you.
Mirrors II features a pair of direct-to-video sequel veterans: director Victor Garcia (Return to the House on Haunted Hill) and writer Matt Venne (White Noise 2: The Light) and stars Nick Stahl (Terminator 3) as a night watchman in a department store who begins to see a mysterious woman in the store’s mirrors. The film begins shooting this month.

The movie Train began as a Thora Birch-headed remake of the ’80s Jamie Lee Curtis classic competent slasher Terror Train, but at some point, the powers that be bucked the remake trend and decided to downsize the title and go with a whole new plot involving college athletes and eastern European organ harvesters. Will this unusual restraint pay off? Well, it’s going straight to video, so commercially it might not work out, but we’ll see how it turns out creatively when Train is released on November 17. In the meantime, check out the trailer and these pics.
